rustic, authentic italian at the alexandria house, hong kong.
fine dining by Chef Umberto Bombana, the “king of white truffle.” really great balsamic vinegar, delicious pastas, truffle galore… just look.
the bread.. the cripsy one is my fave.
thin sliced jamon. transparent, fragrant. so good.
amuse bouche of the night. a foie gras covered with chocolate truffle. new and interesting for me, i really enjoyed it.
black truffles were featured on the menu this visit. shaved table side when ordered: my order was truffle on egg confit.
entree: lobster taglierini. chewy, perfectly cooked pasta with light fresh lobster chunks and tomatoes.
b’s entree, from the seasonal truffle menu: roast chicken, covered in black truffles.
and… their desserts!! great presentation. lemon tarte with raspberry sorbet. tart was smooth and creamy, more on the sweet side.. i would have liked it a bit more tart in flavor.
triple chocolate dessert. chocolate cream tart, gelato and a pudding/mousse/cream pot.
happy.
